Special Assistance Services

How can I book onboard therapeutic oxygen?

Customers requiring therapeutic oxygen for use during flight should notify the Ryanair Special Assistance Line preferably on the same day as the flight booking is made or at the latest 3 days prior to travel, as this service is limited.

Therapeutic oxygen is provided at a continuous flow rate of 2 litres per minute -maximum duration of 250 minutes*

We are unable to provide a continuous supply of therapeutic oxygen for more than 250 minutes. However, customers should also refer to our FAQ on the use of portable oxygen concentrators

*Please note that therapeutic oxygen cannot be provided on Ryanair flights that are operated by Air Explore or Smartlynx.

RYANAIR THERAPEUTIC OXYGEN - MEDICAL CLEARANCE FORM must be completed and returned to Ryanair between 14 up to 2 days prior to travel, in order for it to be validated by us and returned before travel. The validated Therapeutic Oxygen Medical Clearance form must be carried on all flights and travel cannot be permitted without it.

A fee of £50/€50 (or local currency equivalent) per flight applies to the provision of therapeutic oxygen. This charge is subsidised by Ryanair and includes administrative costs, maintenance of the cylinders, refilling after use, etc. The fee is payable at the time the Therapeutic Oxygen Medical Clearance Form is returned for validation.

We arepermitted to provide one inflight therapeutic oxygen request per flight.
